🚀 Overview

Coach Watts is a comprehensive, self-hosted endurance coaching platform designed for cyclists, runners, and triathletes. It acts as your "Digital Twin," aggregating data from your favorite fitness platforms and using Google Gemini AI to provide professional-level analysis, personalized training plans, and daily recommendations.

Unlike static dashboards, Coach Watts understands context—analyzing not just your power numbers, but your recovery, sleep, nutrition, and life stress to guide you toward peak performance.

• 🤖 AI Coach:
  • Workout Analysis: Detailed breakdown of every session with execution scores.
  • Daily Recommendations: Smart suggestions ("Push hard" vs "Rest") based on HRV and sleep.
  • Interactive Chat: High-performance AI SDK v5 powered chat for data-backed answers to your training questions.
• 📈 Advanced Analytics: Track Fitness (CTL), Fatigue (ATL), Form (TSB), and Power Curves with intuitive visualizations.
• 🥗 Nutrition Tracking: Metabolic fueling logic (Eco/Steady/Performance) based on training intensity.
• 📅 Smart Planning: Generate adaptive training plans that fit your schedule and goals.
• 🌍 Global Localization: Fully localized platform supporting over 10 languages with smart timezone handling.
